John & Pat

Hello and welcome to our collection of delightful vacation home rentals!
This grouping
of private family mountain residences is unique to the Black Hills, if
not the Nation. Most are
full sized, year round homes and we have some smaller fully equipped
cabins for smaller families.
Each home or cabin has it's own lot that range
from almost one to six acres!

We take immense pride in these properties (and it shows). You'll see.
But, for us to continue to make
them available for family vacations, we need your help.

These properties may not suit some people or groups. If you are
looking for a "party place", or
have adults or children in your group that are destructive or hard to
manage -
then these properties are definitely not for you.

Our other guests, and our many return guests, come here not just for
the privilege of staying in one of our
mountain homes...they come for
the peace, solitude, and relaxation that our homes and the surrounding
forest and mountains offer.
While at our homes you can observe deer, turkey, endless variety of
birds, fox, coyote, wood chucks, squirrels, chipmunks, and more.
This is why our homes are a "quiet zone".

We have pledged to our past guests that we will maintain these
properties in the same condition as they found during their last visit.
That means that all guests must love, cherish and protect these homes as
much as we do (and we do).

Our rules do not restrict a normal family vacation...they enhance and
expand your family vacation experience.

We hope you are able to become part of our growing group of very
loyal guests.

Your hosts,
John and Patricia

*******************************Introducing the...

The Gold Star!

A very special place in the Black
Hills where vacationing families are the only residents -

It is located a few miles outside of
Custer on a gravel road. Might be a little tough to find at first, but we
like it that way! (You will too!) The Gold Star! consists of a
private group of solid log homes that await you at the end of a turn or two and
just over a small hill and after you turn right where you should have turned
left right where we stacked the three rocks next to the pine tree with a crooked
branch☺!

These homes are located at the end of a dead end road in the woods and have
Forest Service wilderness on two sides. They are in a secluded and
forested location. There is no through traffic other than deer. All
homes are reserved exclusively for our guests. Each
home sits on a one or two acre + parcel
of Black Hills Forest! Each home is a private residence with it's own
driveway.

You may rent one or all, subject to
availability. We have private, gated access to the National Forest Service
wilderness. All six homes combined may accommodate
a total of 64 (for those guests wanting to rent all 6 homes for reunions,
weddings/anniversaries, or business meetings. We can arrange for on-site
weddings, etc. We can also arrange for "custom cook outs"!)

The Gold Star!is reserved for registered guests only and the vehicles shown on the
contract-no outside visitors or vehicles are permitted without prior written
approval of the owners and the payment of the outside visitor day use fees.
Day use fees don't apply to our registered guests.
(We think that you will want to keep
The Gold Star! a
secret, anyway!)

If you want to reserve all (or
just one) of the homes in The Gold Star!you should
book them well in advance.

Yes, we are quite protective of these
(and all of our) properties...and you'll understand why...
when you spend your vacation at any of our homes at the...
The Gold Star!
shines like no other!

The following
properties are located inThe Gold Star!(Just
outside of Custer,SD)

Renegade!
you won't wanna leave!

"from this place you can hear the
earth speak"

Rare cedar log cabin. 1 bedroom, 1 bath, can sleep 4. Full kitchen.
A true frontier location that is only 25' from the USFS wilderness.
Don't worry, there is plenty of wide open spaces around the Renegade!

Large spruce logs were used to build this authentic, frontier log cabin.
It is delightfully warm and cozy.
It is difficult to describe...but it gives you an unusual kind
of...secure... feeling. It takes you back to a simpler time...
back when justice was truly swift and dealt by the sound of metal
clearing leather.Sleeps a family of four (2 adults & 2 buckaroos).
A premium quality, queen bed in the bedroom. Bedroom has it's own
access door to the bathroom.
Futon (full size with inner-spring mattress) in living room. Fully
equipped kitchen with dishwasher.
12'x20' deck faces USFS wilderness that is just a few steps away.Another 8'x8' deck faces to the east at the entrance
door - a great place for your morning cup of coffee.

This is a memorable location for special occasions, such as Honeymoons
& Anniversaries!

by yourself...
sometimes with others...
and sometimes when being right...
is wrong."

privacy. Heck, this is
the end of the road! The 2+ acre lot borders hundreds of thousands
of acres of National Forest Service wilderness. It is only

lower level, delightful (fully equipped) kitchen, and a huge wrap around

Experience

schedules permitting. Full kitchen, living area with sofa sleeper
and full bath on the main floor. Soaring ceilings and a staircase

Come back to your senses...atDesperado!

"like the changing fall colors
of the great aspen tree...you too will change and your spirit will fill
with color and happiness"

pines can whisper special messages...
take time to listen and understand.

El
Dorado Ranch! A proud historic addition to our vacation homes.
4 bedroom, 2 bath, two level ranch style home, accommodating up to 12
people. Knotty pine, tongue
and groove interior finish with lots of big windows letting in lots of
sunshine! All new furnishings and appliances. This is one of
the most desired scenic properties in Custer County, if not the entire
Black Hills area. A huge 5+ acre lot! The large grassland
pasture of this ranch is natural. It is exactly the way it
was when Custer and his troops walked through and camped in this same
field. The photo shows house on right. Calamity Peak (in the
background) is a mountain that towers above the property.
It's a large Western ranch style house with a huge, solid rock
mountain in its back yard! At the base of the mountain and
running the length of the property is French Creek. Excellent
fishing and gold panning is only a short drive away. This property
is significant, historically, during Custer's expedition in 1876.
Photos from 1876 show this location and "blue coats" standing where this
home is located. Situated about 3 miles East of Custer on Hwy 16,
just outside of Custer State Park. An extremely historical
country setting.
Mickelson Trail is across roadway.

It is the largest lot in our
collection...and yes, it is a small ranch.

As our guest you can walk through this
field...and dream.

"At night, big sky with many stars makes you feel like
small prairie chicken"

Wow! - Is what you'll say when you see this 4
bedroom/3 bath Black Hills chalet located in Custer. Directly across
from the Rocky Knolls public Golf Course, and French Creek! 3 levels with huge wrap around deck &
huge granite outcroppings. Gas fireplace, gourmet kitchen, & 30' soaring
ceilings! Premium furnishings! Sleeps up to 12.
You only live
once...they say.
"Even if you are a small Chihuahua...it is good to feel
like Big Dog when on vacation"

Hey
Pardner! Got a hankerin' for some adventure? Yourin' for a
'hole passel of fun just tryin' to find this un! Kinda place that
feels a whole lot like a real hideout! Earp, Holiday, Sundance,
Billy the Kid, Cody, Ringo, Crockett, Bowie, Hickok, Masterson,
Calamity, Poker Alice, Marshall Dillion, Miss Kitty and others would be
mighty fast to belly up to the check in desk for this un. If they
all showed up at once I would quickly find a wide tree for the fear of
them fixin' to settle who gets it with smokin' gun barrels and flyin'
lead! Yup, as you can see it has a big deck and has a breath takin'
view of a lake and valley. One bedroom, one bathroom, full
kitchen, bar, pool table, gas fireplace. Sleeps 2 hombres & 2
bambinos. Free nightly serenades by local Coyote group!

where you will become one with the trees and Mother Earth...
the wisdom and strength you receive are powers that are ancient"
